Historical Description

The Douglas A-26 Invader (also known as the B-26 after 1948) was one of the most important medium bombers and attack aircraft used by the United States during World War II and the Korean War. The first units entered service in 1944 and saw action on the Western European and Pacific fronts. This set accurately recreates the distinctive diamond tread pattern of the main wheels, typical for early A-26B/C variants used in intense wartime operations.

Why choose Aires 4847?

The Aires 4847 set offers highly detailed representation of the early wheels with realistic treads, unattainable with standard plastic parts from most kits. The use of resin allows for perfect microstructure detailing on the tires and hubs. Additional painting masks make it much easier and faster to achieve realistic wheel painting, even for less experienced modelers.

Who is it for?

• Recommended for both advanced and intermediate modelers looking to take their model to the next level.
• Essential for enthusiasts of World War II aircraft and fans of American aviation.
• Perfect as an addition to 1/48 scale ICM models (A-26B/C Invader).

Build difficulty level: 2/5 – assembling the resin wheels with the use of masks is easy and enjoyable for anyone with basic modeling experience.
